The company introduced the Triton-series V8, which boasted placement in some of North America's most popular cars, trucks, and SUVs of the time. With two valves per cylinder and a single overhead camshaft (SOHC), the 4.6-liter and 5.4-liter variants provided power, strength, and durability—save for the extra problems in the three-valve configurations.

Finding a "sleeper" nowadays is rather tough, especially in the SUV segment. Nearly every offering—even ones from Kia and Hyundai—have more aesthetically in common with air-to-ground fighter aircraft than their predecessor models from 20 years ago.

The @mitsucars Mirage isn’t a car that’s worth worrying about the resale value. With a starting MSRP so low, it’s a better value to keep it until it dies. And think of how freeing that is—not to have any attachment to the resale value of your car. https://t.co/JQJVdftApb
